17. Chump has been in over his head for quite some time, but COVID-19

Mar 2020

has shoved him over the edge. He truly has no clue.

"Be careful what you wish for." There's no way anyone could have foreseen this particular crisis during the last election, but I'll bet Chump is totally shell-shocked by what has landed in his lap. He is, of course, totally incapable of handling or leading during this time.

HA! Our local station just jettisoned Chump's conference, opting instead to cover our Governor's instead. That confirms to me that people are trusting their local government much more than the Feds. Wise.
